Up-And-Coming Bike Rides & Events

Graffiti By Bike

A tour of home-grown and world class graffiti in Wynwood, including Primary Flight’s diverse urban art and the Wynwood Walls, many of which are only dry since December. The tour will include information on the artists and crews, and the rules by which they respect tags, bombs, throw-ups and pieces. We will trace a route through Wynwood, following the artistic development of tags to commissioned public work. Check out the preview in the Miami Herald. Make sure to bring sunblock and plenty of water.

Hello 1Sky friends!

Thanks again for all your support and to those of you who joined oil spill protests in Lake Worth and Miami Beach last week.

If you haven’t yet, please check out the press we got from the Miami event: Activists Protest Offshore Drilling

Press from Lake Worth to be posted soon. We’re looking for rapid response from as many folks as possible before Thursday!

Please call your senators before Thursday of this week. The senate is voting on the Murkowski amendment- we’re expecting Thursday- and we need masses to call and say “VOTE NO!” If passed, it would undo the EPA’s authority to regulate greenhouse gases from coal power plants under the Clean Air Act- our only federal regulation currently in place to limit emissions and curb climate change. Call with the tool on our website- let the computer call you so we can keep track of how many calls are made: http://www.facebook.com/l/6bc68;tools.advomatic.com/13/calls

Thanks as always for your support,

Andrea Cuccaro

Thank you all for coming out to our summits and providing good input.
